Snail's proposal that we will not agree on any consensus items on Christmas day and new year's day, resuming at our our Jan 8 meeting, is blocked by John

Regarding 2013 board and officer elections, the following is our consensus:

Nominations are now open for the 2013 board. On January 29th 2013, nominations will be frozen and we will begin the process of agreeing to that list of nominees by consensus. Once we have agreed on nominees for the 2013 board, the current board will announce our Annual General Membership Meeting. At the Annual General Membership Meeting, Leif will preside over an election of the 2013 board, by approval voting.

Myk: People asked to leave, have returned, including Chris and Andreas. Myk has not received backup when asking these people to leave. The room resolves almost unanimously to support Myk (or others) in future situations like these.
